Having looked at them, they both fall into the category of "existing code doing morally-dubious things with IO::Socket::INET that nevertheless managed to work there", which isn't going to work in a more general case. Hard to see what a sensible course of action is here. I'm not overly inclined towards making IO::Socket::IP do odd things just because ::INET did them, so they may have to be filed under the general banner of "don't do that". -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
